Scripture

Genesis 11

Shem lived 500 years, Arphaxad lived 403 years, Shelah lived 403 years, Eber lived 430 years, Peleg lived 209 years, Reu lived 207 years, Serug lived 200 years, Nahor lived 119 years, Terah lived 205 years

Observation

What Do All These Men Have In Common?

They have at least two things in common: 1. They all lived a long time. 2. They are all dead!

We are also going to die. Unless Jesus Christ comes before I die then I am going to experience death. Come Lord Jesus! These men lived long lives but I am sure that death probably caught them by surprise. How long do you have to live? Do you think you have fifty more years left on earth, thirty, twenty, ten, five, three, one, six months, one month? What if you only had one month to live? What if this January would be your last? What would you do different? In front of me I have a poster that I can look at everyday that says, “Live each day like its your last – make the most out of every moment.”

Application

I will do the most important things first today. Reading His Word was a good start.


Prayer

Heavenly Father, I don’t know how much time I have left to serve you. Help me put the important things first. Help me not to waste my time and my energy. Guide me today. Direct my thoughts and keep me focused on the important things the things that are on our heart for me to do. I love you Lord. Help me keep you first in my life today. Amen.
